processes that elude a majority of people's
knowledge. The act of listening involves four main
parts: hearing, attention, understanding and

Cryonics - 1,022 words
Cryonics Cryonics What is cryonics? If you ask
that question to most people, they would not have
a clue. Cryonics is not very popular yet, but
interest in cryonics has increased since the
process was pioneered in 1967 by James H. Bedford.
To be specific, cryonics is the controversial
practice of freezing the remains of people whom
doctors and the rest of the world consider dead,
in the hopes of reviving them when medical
technology can cure what ails them. The procedure
itself features a very long and sometimes
complicated process. First, when the person is
considered clinically dead, a team of specialists
goes in and hooks the person up to a heart and
lung resuscitator. Then, they begin to ...

Ebola Virus - 1,107 words
... ltifactorial nature of viral evolution makes
it difficult to predict such events. According to
Doolittle, retrovirus evolution is sporadic, with
retroviruses evolving at different rates in
different situations. For instance, the human
endogenous retroviral element is shared with
chimpanzees, indicating no change in over 8
million years, whereas strains of HIV have
diverged in mere decades. Endogenous retroviruses
carried in the germline evolve slowly compared
with infective retroviruses. Generation of new
viral pathogens is rare, and often possible only
because of high mutation rates that permit many
neutral mutations to accumulate before selective
pressure forces a change. The seeming u ...

Hopi Kachina Dolls - 1,979 words
Hopi Kachina Dolls High on the mesas in the arid
land of northeastern Arizona live the Hopi,
westernmost of the Pueblo people. A small,
peaceful and friendly group, they have occupied
their barren mesa tops and farmed their arid but
fertile valleys for many centuries. Clinging
tenaciously to their marginal land, they have
withstood drought, famine and the onslaught of
nomadic raiders. The pressure of Spanish
domination, pestilence and, more recently,
cultural inundation have diminished but not
destroy their traditional pattern of life. The
Hopi are bound together by their religion, a
multi-stranded cord uniting them to withstand the
hazards of a harsh environment and in rebuffing
foreign inc ...

Introduction - 1,123 words
Introduction Of his time, Talcott Parsons
(1902-1979) was considered the most admired
American sociologist. Parsons was bread into a
well-to-do family and was given a strong
educational foundation as a child. Starting as a
biologist, Parsons felt out of place and
transferred to economics and sociology. As he
excelled in these fields, Parsons began studies in
Europe, giving him a wide view on different
societies. He began teaching at Harvard, and there
he exposed his sociological thoughts. Although
very controversial, Parsons' works had influences
on all aspects of Sociology. He generally focused
on social action and systems and believed that
morality in social action is the main element to h ...
